Gold Pan housing market up from previous year AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter The Gold Pan’s housing market saw an overall increase in value of almost four million. Two hundred and eighty one properties changed hands in the Quesnel area in 2014 through MLS, up from 250 that were sold in 2013. The value of these properties was $54.3 million ($50.5 million in 2013). The median value of the 123 single family homes sold in 2014 was

Real Estate board director and Re/Max sales representative William Lacy said. “Even better results in activity for homes with acreage with 163 units changing hands this year against 134 units last year. This resulted in a price increase of 2.5 per cent and an average selling price of just over 253,000.” Lacy noted some areas in which supply had increased, increasing selling time, but remained optimistic. “With increases in activ-

ity and prices increasing in single family homes and single family homes with acreage, we are looking forward to a steady year in 2015,” he said. “More and more people are discovering what an amazing community we have here and they are migrating in from out of province, from the North and even up from the coast. So with all the stakeholders in the community working hard to improve this ‘hidden gem’ that we call home, we can hopefully see some of the

Alzheimer awareness month targets Gold Pan women

Nearly threequarters of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease are women. It’s an eye-opening statistic, but it’s not news to the many Quesnel families whose lives have been altered by the dementia journey. “Women represent 72 per cent of Canadians living with Alzheimer’s disease,” Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Support and Education Coordinator for Quesnel and the Northern Interior and Skeena, Leanne Jone said. “They could be your mothers, wives, sisters, grandmothers or friends.” That’s why the Society’s annual Alzheimer Awareness Month campaign in January has adopted the theme The 72 per cent. It aims to inform women in their 40s and older about the warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, brain health and how the programs and services of the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. can help. More women than men are living with Alzheimer’s disease because they live longer and age is a significant risk factor, Jones says. The risk of dementia doubles every five years after age 65. Women also account

for 70 per cent of family caregivers. “The disease takes a tremendous toll on these women who eventually provide

round-the-clock care. The burden is especially high for women raising families and holding down jobs.”

Though women are disproportionately affected. “Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias affect everyone,”

Jones points out. More than 70,000 people in B.C. face dementia. The 72 per cent Awareness Month

campaign kicks off in January but local families living with dementia can receive assistance year-round from Jones. She can

Northern Health region having a mild flu season with only 21 cases reported

While other parts of the province are experiencing high volumes of influenza cases, the Northern Health region is having a mild flu season. “Last year at this time there were lines of residents waiting for their flu shots,” Dr. William Osei Northern Health medical health officer said. So far this season there

have been 21 confirmed cases of influenza in the Northern Health, compared to 47 in the same time period of last year. Dr. Osei said in the Northwest area of the region, which includes Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii, there has only been two confirmed cases, neither in Prince Rupert. There have been 10 cases

in the Northeast and nine in the Northern Interior. But Dr. Osei said it’s hard to determine the true number of influenza cases as many who are infected stay home and treat themselves. The flu season usually peaks in early-January, with the second peak occurring four weeks later. While the H1N1 influ-

enza strain was the most common last season, this year there have been more cases of H3N2 around B.C. Symptoms of both strains are the same, but Dr. Osei said H1N1 is more infectious. The H3N2 virus mutated after the most recent vaccine was created, so it doesn’t offer full protection against the strain.

“We didn’t hit all [three components in the vaccination] that we intended to hit,” Dr. Osei explained, noting the flu hasn’t been an issue in northern long-term care facilities. Jonathon Dyck, Northern Health spokesperson, said the authority has a sufficient supply of flu vaccines across the region.

The number of people who were vaccinated by public health alone within the region was 16,453 as of Jan. 3. To book an immunization appointment through Northern Health call 250622-6380. Immunizations are also available at a number of pharmacy’s in most communities.

Quesnel Cariboo Observer

eventeen months after a photo was snapped and distributed showing her half naked, with a half naked boy behind her, Rehtaeh Parsons hung herself. The boy, who was at the time 16, plead guilty last month to one count of child pornography distribution. He received one year’s probation. The second boy involved in the incident plead guilty to production of child pornography. He was given a conditional discharge with one year’s probation. Both of their names are protected under Youth Criminal Justice. The case was heartbreaking, shocking and convoluted. Were the sexual acts consensual? Both boys testified it was. Sadly, Rehtaeh isn’t around to confirm that. But what Nova Scotian provincial court judge Gregory Lenehan said was the “domino” that started the events of her death was the picture that was snapped. It’s astounding and terrifying to think of 16-year-olds having sex parties and thinking nothing of it. Apparently this sort of thing was a fairly regular weekend activity. But to think of these incredibly private, personal acts being documented and distributed is sickening. We can point to technology, lack of privacy, lack of morals, lack of respect – and it’s all true. I cannot imagine my son ever disrespecting a woman in such a manner, but sadly these types of “shaming” are far too common. Even in our community there are teenagers being “shamed” be it by photos at parties, photos distributed without consent or knowledge, gossip sweeping Facebook, bullying by keyboard or text. These boys pointed to “bragging rights”. Their parents have gone on record saying they didn’t raise their sons to behave in this way. Regardless, Rehtaeh Parsons, another vibrant young woman, is dead because of these actions: we must have these tough, uncomfortable discussions with our children. Remember these young men’s parents were aghast at their actions. As disturbing and terrifying as it is, it is also a reality of our times and we must face it head-on. –Autumn MacDonald, Observer

Is it safe to be a free-range kid? A

mother and father are being investigated for neglect after they allowed their six-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son to walk home together from a playground a mile away without adult supervision. Neighbors called the police and child protection services to report them. The laws in Maryland, where this happened, prohibit children under the age of eight from being left unattended in a vehicle or a home, and a child must be at least 13 years old to supervise a younger one. Despite this, the educated, professional pair is defending their choice to “free-range parent” - a childrearing style that both my husband and I grew up with, and now our children are growing up with as well. Yet before reading this story in the news, I had never heard of the term “free-range parenting” and simply considered our style to be somewhat old school, reminiscent of the days when we played unsupervised outside from morning to night. After learning of an actual label I looked it up. Described as a common sense approach to parenting in an overprotective era, it is almost opposite of what’s been termed “helicopter” parenting where children are monitored and sometimes controlled continuously by their folks who hover over them.

Lori Welbourne

On A Brighter Note I’m not about to claim one style is better than the other. I think what’s best depends on the individual family, and in particular the kids. For us, the old fashioned approach is working out well so far. Sam and Daisy are confident individuals who for the most part make responsible decisions, are self-reliant and don’t take unnecessary risks. Not everyone agrees with our choices though. “I can’t believe you’d let them take public transit without you,” one of my friends said recently. “A man was just stabbed to death on a city bus you know.” Yes, I do know. The tragic murder she referred to occurred in Kelowna two and a half months ago and was a shock to our community. But what were we supposed to do? Take away the independence our 11-yearold daughter and 14-yearold son have earned because of the remote possibility someone might attack them? As we’ve also seen in the news, horrifying things

park,” a cantankerous tour guide hollered up top a New York double-decker bus I was once on. “It used to be full of active children having fun. But all the so-called ‘dangerous equipment’ was replaced with safe boring stuff and they stopped coming. Now they’re inside playing video games and watching the boob tube.” As parents, my husband and I could still be considered too protective compared to previous generations. We thoroughly child proofed our house, put gates on the stairs and even walked up the ladder of the slide with our kids and caught them at the bottom when they first slid down. But we also taught them what they shouldn’t touch, how to navigate stairs and the safety rules at the playground. The older they got the more independence they wanted, so we helped them earn it. None of us want our kids to experience any harm, but I believe overprotecting them and perpetuating this feeling of living in fear could hurt them more in the end. Teaching them responsibility and assisting in becoming self-sufficient is not neglect, it’s a rational parenting decision.

can happen anywhere – even in their protective schools with teachers present. This world we live in isn’t 100 per cent safe like the vast majority of us wish it was. But is it worse than it used to be? From all the reports and statistics I’ve read over the years, when it comes to Canada and the US it is not. It only seems like it is. According to the Department of Justice the crime level has dropped significantly and we are now in line with the way it was in 1970. It is actually safer for our children to play outside than it was for me when I was their age. Lenore Skenazy, the author of Free-Range Kids, states that our society started believing children were in constant danger “after cable TV started showing abductions 24/7 and finding the weirdest, saddest stories from around the world.” The internet prominently highlights a steady stream of that as well. It’s not just the fear of crime that scares us though. All the extra safety concerns we’re bombarded with make us worry as well. The current tobogganing restrictions and bans making news across North America illustrates this. No one can deny there is a physical risk and liability issue when sledding, but risk exists with just about any activity. “Look at that empty

B.C. not blameless on Columbia River Treaty Editor: Re: U.S. ripping us off on water (B.C. Views, Jan. 7). I am a scholar of Columbia River Treaty history and live in the region where all the losses occurred. My own upcoming book about the treaty, A River Captured, represents a decade of research and travel across the Columbia Basin on both sides of the boundary. This is a big, complex story that deserves lots of attention. One thing I’ve learned

Letters to the Editor

over the years is that the U.S. was not necessarily the Big Bad Wolf we would like to make them out to be. In fact, the U.S. formally asked Canada in the 1930s if this country had an interest in those salmon that would be blocked and it was Canada that said no. Had Canada’s response been different, we might have gotten that fish ladder and saved our unique Interior salmon runs. There was considerably controversy over the treaty between its signing

in 1961 and its ratification by Canada in 1964. During that time, the agreement was on the edge of being tossed out, with Prime Minister Lester Pearson actively promoting the negotiation of a new treaty during his 1963 election campaign. The U.S., as a result of their own shifting water policies, would have very likely cooperated with changing or scrapping that treaty. It was Canada’s federal bureaucrats who went into high gear to justify what had been signed

and make sure it went through. There is no question in my mind that Canada and B.C.’s government agencies played a very significant role in making the mess we got in 1964. Eileen Delehanty Pearkes Nelson Editor: B.C. should fire warning shot Re: U.S. ripping us off on water, B.C. Views (Jan. 7). This is an issue all of B.C. should have the same view on and an extremely important one at that.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett should have given the 10-year notice to exit the agreement. I don’t think we could ever actually deny the U.S. access to our water, as it would ultimately lead to an invasion. We should however fire the warning shot that we want a fair dollar for the resource. Having just flown back from Puerto Vallarta, I saw nothing but desert out my window for almost the entire trip until we got into Washington state. Lake Mead, cre-

ated by the Hoover Dam, is so low on water that the dam is almost useless and California is screaming for more to feed the crops. We pay top dollar for the produce from there and yet give them the water for pretty much free. It’s totally crazy and will only get worse. The time to act is now. Thanks for highlighting this ridiculous situation that I’ve ranted on about for decades to mostly deaf ears. Matt Taylor Saanich

COMMUNITY BC Hydro Power Pioneers

Power Pioneers ready to hand over $1,000 Students encouraged to apply for the Community Service Award

Adopt a Shelter Dog! If you can give a homeless dog a second chance at happiness, please visit your local shelter today.

ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter There’s a cheque for $1,000 waiting for the lucky recipient of this year’s BC Hydro Power Pioneers Community Service Award. In the past recipients have included Kim Verge, Chelsea McIllvride, Mathew McLean, Danielle Robert and Kelsi Brown. This award is available to students 18 years or younger as of application deadline of March 31. Twenty such awards are handed out in British Columbia. Candidates must have made outstanding contributions in their community for a considerable amount of time or a one-time project which the individual initiates, organizes and contributes to significantly as a volunteer. The simple application includes a completed application form, a one-page essay of voluntary contributions you have made in your community; reference letters from the community organizations you have volunteered with; reference letter from a teacher, counsellor or principal at your school; confirmation of a passing grade (a photocopy of your transcript is acceptable); and proof of age (a photocopy of your birth certificate or passport is acceptable). The Community Service Award is available to any student studying in any format including home schooling and distance learning. Your package must be received by March 31 complete with all components, postmarked no later than March 31 (you need to ask the post office to stamp the date if you deliver it on March 31). The successful applicant is chosen by a panel of six local judges who assess the applications strictly on the merit of the material submitted. As much as possible the successful applicant receives their certificate and cheque at a special luncheon in their honour before the end of May. “Although most recipients apply the $1,000 to school costs, there are no restrictions or obligations as to how the funds are spent,” Power Pioneer Rae Daggett said. “All the recipient is required to do is maintain a passing grade and have a significant volunteer contribution to the community.” For applications, visit powerpioneers.com or contact Rae Daggett, 250-991-8005, Roger North, 250-991-7389 or Correlieu senior secondary school.

Magnificent flying machines

Skyfest 2015 plans are out of this world with new performers, more shows and family favourites ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter

s you plan you summer, make sure you boldly highlight Aug. 1 – 2 for Quesnel Skyfest 2015. Building on the howling success of the 2013 show, volunteer organizers are already hard at work planning every detail, not a small task but the excitement is building and the plans are magnificent. There are crowd-favourite performances by aerial artists Quesnel audiences are beginning to recognize, new and exciting pilots with amazing tricks in their cockpits and events and surprises that will be revealed as times are nailed down and details confirmed for the Quesnel Skyfest 2015. And for those who’ve been holding their breath, hoping to once again see the awesome CF-18 and Canada’s own Snowbirds, they’re back. Yes, Skyfest organizers have confirmed those dashing airmen and women will touch down in the days prior to the airshow, and the CF-18 will even participate in a very special event (more to come later on that). However, for those who attended Skyfest 2013 and remember the Discovery TV crew, why not relive the best moments on Discovery Channel with the premier of Airshow, Jan. 26, 7 p.m. Quesnel’s episode in the spotlight airs Feb. 9, so set your PVR if you can’t

watch it at airtime. The program features many of the performers at Quesnel Skyfest 2013 including Super Dave, who is also the feature performer in this program. With breathtaking footage, behind the scenes interviews and live action captured by cameras mounted on the aircrafts, Airshow is a nail-biting program not to be missed. Regardless of whether or not you’ll

ever experience aerobatic flying, this program, according to executive producer Mark Miller, is about spectacular flying, big crowds and even bigger personalities. “Although these planes are just a hunk of metal, these extreme aircrafts push the boundaries of what is physically possible,” he said about airshow planes. “But an aircraft is just an aircraft without the performers who push their

planes and themselves to the very edge of sanity.” Also the week of Feb. 8 – 14, Quesnel Skyfest 2015 is planning a very special ticket promotion which, coincidentally, celebrates B.C. Family Day Feb. 9 (also the air date for Quesnel’s Airshow episode on Discovery Channel.) Family passes, regularly $40 will be $35 if you purchase yours during that week online at www.quesnelskyfest.ca. A family is considered two adults and up to four children. And for those who have yet to purchase your Quesnel Skyfest 2015 calendar for just $5, on which important dates are marked and performers are highlighted, they are available at various locations around the community including Tourist Bureaus in Quesnel, Williams Lake and Prince George, the Quesnel Legion, Quesnel Art Gallery, SPCA, Circle ‘S’ Western Wear, McKelvie Financial, Karin’s Deli, Tower Inn, Seniors Centre and Benjamin Moor Paints. You can also purchase a calendar from any Skyfest director, the Flying Club or local Cadets. This calendar is an ideal way to preview some of the performers and learn valuable information which will enhance your Skyfest experience as well as the perfect souvenir to collect signatures and memories of this years airshow.

The Arts Council is working on a new mandate to provide programming as well as supporting events of the member groups. One major change in the past year has been to acquire the Children’s Concert Society as a Standing Committee. The Society had to fold due to lack of volunteers willing to participate as board members, but the Arts Council felt it was of significant service to the community and voted to take it on. We have made a commitment to providing four concerts in our calendar year (March 31 – April 1) and this year three concerts have already happened – Rock the Arts, the Purple Pirate and the Rainbow Dance troupe. On Feb. 5 we are presenting Vazzy, a French-Canadian folk duo, at Chuck Mobley Theatre at Correlieu and posters and tickets are just going out for that presentation. We are happy to partner in part with École Baker, who will help with promotions. The duo plays interesting instruments and sings French folk music, the show should be a lot of fun for all ages. Our next children’s concert will be April 20 with Will Stroat at Riverview School. This will be a part of arts and culture week and is targeting the families of elementary and preschool aged children. Last summer, with the help of a B.C. Touring Council grant, the Arts Council held a week

With the Cariboo North Central Regional (CNCR) championships starting today and running until Sunday at the Quesnel Twin Arenas it is time to take a moment and reflect on some of the recent competitions the Quesnel Figure Skating Club (QFSC) took part in. Taking eighth place in Junior Silver Ladies at Jingle Blades was Kayla Flanagan. Beverly Smetanick, Star 5 U13 competitor placed eighth at Autumn Leaves and first at the Kla-How-Ya competition. Second place in Star 4 at the Kla-How-Ya competition went to Grace Dunn. In Senior Silver Ladies at Kla-How-Ya, Cassie Greenwood skated in for first place. Attending the Kla-How-Ya competition and placing first in Gold Ladies was Carmen Huang. Madison Nickolet also attended the Kla-How-Ya competition, bringing back a first place win for the QFSC in Senior Bronze Ladies. Casey Fisher skated in to Kelowna for the Okanagan Interclub competition bringing a fourth place win in Star 4 U13. These are only some of the many achievements earned by members of the QFSC seemingly endless hours of practice and dedication. Visiting figure skaters will be facing tough competition this weekend as they skate against many of QFSC talented members at the CNCR championships. The start time for the Regionals Jamboree is today from 9 a.m. – 4:48 p.m. On the Saturday skaters will be on the ice competing from 8 a.m – 7:30 p.m. The third and final day of skating is Sunday with events taking place from 8 a.m. – 1:40 p.m. Come out to the Twin Arenas and cheer on the QFSC as the take on the competition.

Community to competition, the QTGC tackles it all WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter The Quesnel Technics Gymnastics Club (QTGC) has been keeping busy with practice, competition and community volunteering. Some of the club’s members took time out of their schedule to visit Maeford place. The QTGC athletes contributed their time by helping with bingo, calling out the numbers as they were drawn. As well as community work, several of the clubs talented athletes competed in the Judge’s Cup in Prince George last month. In level 8, Jessica Higgins placed first on beam, floor and vault, as well as third on bars. These high scores helped to earn Higgins first place overall. At 12 years old she was the youngest competitor in her

Also competing in level 6 was Kaitlyn Horth. Horth place sixth on beam and floor, earning a seventh place standing overall.

Last but not certainly not least was QTGC only level 1 competitor Neveah Kueber. Kueber placed third on beam, fourth on floor, vault and bars.

January 25 - 31, 2015 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 There is no harm in being ambitious, Aries. But a little humility to accompany that ambition can go a long way. Accept any recognition you earn in an appropriate manner. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Your desires make it seem like anything is within reach this week, Taurus. You may have to work a little harder to achieve your goals, but hard work is its own reward. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Postpone chores that are not essential, Gemini. This way you can make the most of your upcoming free time with friends and family. You deserve a little break now and again. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, try to avoid stretching yourself too thin in the coming weeks. Your ambition and energy are at an all-time high, but if you do not slow down, you can easily get burnt out. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 It’s impossible for people to try to contain all of your energy this week, Leo. Direct your energy in a positive way and use it to reach your goals. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Express your feelings without any inhibition, Virgo. Others will appreciate your honesty, especially if you employ some tact when sharing your opinions. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, no matter how crazy your life is right now, you still manage to come out looking no worse for wear. You have a handy way of making lemonade out of sour lemons. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Your long-term career opportunities are looking good, Scorpio. If you do what makes you happy, you will always end up on top and financial rewards will follow. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, although you see lucrative career opportunities at every bend, you are not ready to make a big change. You will know when the moment has come to make a change. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Proceed gently if you want to make any real progress, Capricorn. You’re feeling more optimistic, but you still need to exercise caution. Common sense can keep you grounded. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, friends may arrive at your home with plans for fun and adventure. Any kind of celebration or social situation is what you crave right now. Go ahead and enjoy yourself. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Don’t worry about a potential conflict, Pisces. In due time you will realize this was nothing to get worked up about.

BRIAN RICHARD BATTRAM In loving memory of my dear husband, father and grandfather Brian, who passed away January 24, 2013. With loving memories where gentle breezes blow, Sores one we love so dearly and lost 2 years ago. They say time heals all sadness perhaps some day it will, But so far time has only proven how much we miss him still.

Cards of Thanks

Thank You

It is with grateful hearts that we thank friends and neighbours in Quesnel, Kersley and beyond for all their support upon the passing of our son Doug. To family who travelled on winter roads to be with us; 6811439 to Dr. Buyes and the nursing staff on the 3rd floor of G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital who looked after Doug on his final journey; to all those who brought food, took the time to visit, phoned and gave much appreciated hugs; for the flowers and the multitude of cards, words canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t express how much it meant to us. A special Thanks to the staff in the Chemo Unit who so caringly kept Doug comfortable during treatments, you are very special people. To Annalisa, Kyle and Megan who were at his side throughout and to Amanda. Know that Doug is at Peace and so are we. We are very blessed. Larry and Vi Martens

Lovingly remembered and never forgotten by wife Deanna, children Lisa, Trent, Aimee and grandchildren.

B.C.’s mining industry heads into 2015 with slumping commodity prices, closures and layoffs at coal operations and efforts to continue recovery from B.C.’s worst mine-related structural failure. Imperial Metals applied last week to restart the Mount Polley copper-gold mine near Williams Lake, to produce about half the ore it did before its tailings dam abruptly failed in August 2014. The company’s Red Chris copper-gold mine in northwestern B.C. is up and running, but facing a six-year low in the world price of copper. Coal mines in the Kootenays, a mainstay of the B.C. industry, remain in production, but slower growth in Asia and a low metallurgical coal price forced Anglo American Coal and Walter Energy to shut down mines at the northeast coal hub of Tumbler Ridge last fall. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett heads for the Association for Mineral Exploration B.C. conference in Vancouver Jan. 26-29. He said in an interview last week the price of copper has dipped to a level where there is concern about layoffs at metal mines, but the current “bear market” is less of a concern for mineral exploration, with mineral discoveries taking years to develop. Taseko Mines confirmed Monday it is reducing its workforce at the Gibraltar Mine near Williams Lake by nearly 50 positions due to the price of copper. Premier Christy Clark’s jobs plan set a target of eight new mines and nine expansions by the end of 2015. Since 2011, startups include Copper Mountain near Princeton, New Afton near Kamloops, Mount Milligan west of Prince George, Bonanza Ledge near Quesnel and Yellow Giant on Banks Island near Prince Rupert. Last week Environment Minister Mary Polak issued two five-year mine permit extensions to keep alive projects facing opposition from local aboriginal communities. One was for the Tulsequah Chief mine project near Atlin, determined to have been “substantially started” with site work after a long legal battle with the Taku River Tlingit First Nation. The other extension is for the Taseko’s New Prosperity copper-gold project near Williams Lake, which has twice been rejected by the federal government due to environmental concerns over acid rock contamination. The Tsilhqot’in Nation remains adamantly opposed to the open-pit proposal. Bennett said both companies and the government need to continue talks about revenue sharing and impacts with affected aboriginal communities as they apply for operating permits. “An important part of that process under the Mines Act is for them to engage with First Nations, and an important part for the Crown is to consult and accommodate, so there’s lots of work to do,” Bennett said.
